What neighborhood?

OP here. I just want to say you're welcome, for jinxing it. I'd like to thank the OPM, and all of you who supported this jinxing endeavor - this was a collaborative effort.

They closed the government for that storm? Not even really a soaking rain as I went from my car to my house. The lightning from last week was much worse.

Power is out in 22039, Fairfax Station.

Are we sure the worst of it has passed? We had some flickering of lights but kept power. Don’t know whether to breathe a sigh of relief yet (in Arlington here).

Shut up and turn on your TV. There is extensive damage in the western exurbs of DC, all along a VA/MD diagonal. And there are severe storms predicted east of DC tonight. DC was spared the worst. It was not possible to predict in advance where the damage would be exactly.

As far as trees falling? I think the threat is mostly over, though the ground is pretty saturated. But the winds aren't there.

After the storm 9 days ago, we didn't lose power until well after the storm ended, the sun came out, we helped clean up the neighborhood, took a hot shower... and then boom. Transformer blowouts. So power outage threat may still be there, but the storm part is pretty over.

So you didn't learn anything from the last storm. Damage is very localized due to microbursts. Just count yourself lucky instead of being dismissive.

The "nothingburger" moron is probably a 27 year old who lives in his parent's basement, has everything paid and taken care of for him, and has never had any real things to worry about.

Ahem, he is a 57-years-young divorcee whose adult children won’t talk to him anymore.

He's definitely the guy that drives with his lights off in the pouring rain.

And drives on ice/first to leave the neighborhood in the snow to get ice cream from the store.

Lol this is appreciated.

Seriously, my house was beat up so badly by last weekend storm, I’m still recovering emotionally and it will take weeks to fix it if not months. These people who wanna minimize weather events are so desperate to push a political agenda, they are so unbelievably unempathetic to any of us who are dealing with the actual consequences. It’s so sick. No wonder they have no friends except other a$$holes.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I hope things get repaired soon.
